Normal. Look to Eeuroparts Posted by Dparadis [Email] (#2915) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Dparadis) on Thu, 28 May 2009 09:26:51 In Reply to: 2003 9-5 Turbo Failure, TH, Wed, 27 May 2009 16:26:31 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
LAst year, had my turbo go tits up on my 2003 Linear at 90,000 miles.
I believe I bought the replacement turbo (new) for around $800 at Eeuroparts. Had the dealer install it. I basically blew a fuse when they told the price they would sell it to me ($1,500 if I remember). I just went on and on about the fact that me, an individual could buy it at a cheaper price than they could. Guy finally just said to bring him the turbo and that they would install it for me. All in all, it costs me $1,500 to replace.
I believe the Lionear has a Garrett turbo, which is generally of poorer quality than the Mitsubishi turbos found in the ARC and Aero (just what I read...).
I am still pissed off about the fact that the mechanics just matter of factly said that turbo was shot and that it was normal after 5 years. My only regret with the car so far...
